"During the last 6 years as I have prepared graduate students in psychology to become professional sport psychologists I have continued to experience a disparity between science and practice. In light of this I approached several expert practitioners people with vast experience in fieldwork and shared my concerns with them. I asked each of them to write a chapter for this book."--Gershon Tenenbaum Editor The expert practitioners in The Practice of Sport Psychology address a variety of issues and concerns and come from different backgrounds institutes and programs. Each practitioner perceives his or her work from a different perspective—clinical health oriented community oriented feminist social practical—and each has developed unique methods of practice. However all are similar in their intent to optimize mental and emotional conditions so that the athletes and teams with whom they work will meet their desired goals. Inside you’ll find chapters on what it means to practice sport psychology and the lessons to be learned from doing so who has benefited from the practices of sport psychology from Olympic skiers to equestrians to golfers to orienteers; how much can be gained from reflections on community-based sport psychology and the experiences of a feminist sport psychologist; when sport psychology can be used to benefit elite athletes world-class performers and during competition tours; why the field of performance-enhancement consultation has many insights to offer us all; how high-performance sports affect the experience of human development; where the crosscultural similarities and differences appear in the practice of sport psychology; why the definition of winning needs to be expanded; and how to plan your specialist training in sport psychology.
